Paper craft project no. 467: Count your blessings one layer card

Happy November! It's time for a new challenge at The Mixed Media Card Challenge. I went with a simple one layer card using the stencil monoprint technique. Inked up the Bloom Boldly stencil with Distress inks, spritzed it with water, and then placed my card base flat on it. Then I added splatters using a waterbrush and Inktense pencils. Achieved the crisp stamping of my sentiment (Many Blessings -- new release, comes bundled with coordinating dies and stencil too!) using the DIY stamping press I put together (cost me just under $20 in materials to build), and the card's done :o)

I love this card and am going to have to try the monoprint stencil technique. :-) Looks like it would be fun to do. Also am so in love with the bright colors you used. Thank you! Who knows I may even be inspired to do my own one layer card in the future. ;-)

In my other life, I’m a ghostwriter, an editor, the author of several books on journaling, an email course developer, and software creator. I've also been building and designing websites since 1999 and providing graphic design services for clients since 2002. I began dabbling in mixed media in 2008 and have sold my artwork. In June 2013, I started a stamp company and began turning my illustrations into stamps. I’ve been married to my best friend, a super wonderful man, since 2004 and we live in Central California. In August 2015, we welcomed our first child. I love scrapbooking (traditional and digital), card-making, mixed media, and basically anything that involves exercising one’s creativity! Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely, creative day! :-)

12/17/14: I moved in to this blog from my old blog here. It was best to move to Blogger since my other blog (this one) is a Blogger blog. If you've been following my One Layer, CAS & Mixed Media Cards blog on Wordpress.com since July 2013, thank you so much! I hope you'll follow me here too because this is where I'll be sharing my projects from now on :o)
